Today's White Supremacists are defending an illusion that lacks clear definition, a vacuousness based on hate of "the Other," more than any ideological or intellectual substance. Some one who styles his or her self as "White" is defining the race by what it is supposedly not, as opposed to knowing that they represent something positive. I.e. You're white because you're not black.Now, Whites in Anglo-America for example, have lost their European heritage. Sure, you may refer to the glorious Greek and Roman culture (whose types were mixed with Mediterranean and Asian), but more and more these days, your average White person doesn't know much about their European heritage, whether it be their language, their literature, or even their science. But instead of trying to regain what they've lost, too many spend time and energy trying to defend a hollow unsubstantiated position more based on socioeconomic power, which is itself being under-mined from different directions.

There is much hatred today amoung the races.I once heard a message that made me laugh, and is still making me laugh at it today. A speaker once said,"We all came over on boats, different boats no doubt!, but we're all in the same boat together now!"

Let's learn to respect our differences and share kind feeling toward one another. Who knows, we might just learn something!

You are the Gender Abolitionist type of feminist. This means that you
feel the best way to destroy patriarchal oppression is to rid ourselves
of misguided gender roles, and instead live in a society that does not
make such marked assumptions about gender differences. The Gender
Abolitionist is culturally radical, but rather conservative when it
comes to sexual liberation and politics. You have a strong sense of
human rights for all. In fact, you are actually a very moral person.
You don't see people in terms of gender and are thus very philosophical
in order to perceive the world in such a manner. You think people
shouldn't identify others in terms of gender. When most people see a
person, the first thing they think is "That person is a woman" or "That
person is a man", but they do NOT think "That person is a
short-fingernail". Most make someone's gender their IDENTITY, but
fingernail length would never be considered part of their identity. A
gender abolitionist would claim gender should be like fingernail
length--it shouldn't be part of someone's identity. By making gender a
part of identity, difference is emphasized and oppression is often
justified. Thus, gender shouldn't be regarded to such a large extent by
society. You are mostly concerned with seeing women become fully
equalized with men by eliminating gender roles, as these roles oppress
women.
